I am writing this report with great enthusiasm and a feeling of joy, because KAICIID contains valuable information, great challenges, and many ways to reach my first and only goal in this life, which is to achieve peace and stability in the Holy Land.

Qalbi, who started her own prenatal brand and authors interfaith children's books, started volunteering with Board Member Neil Rothenberg to host the peacemakers in Toronto for the 2018 Parliament of World's Religions. She has continued helping with data entry, transcription, social media, outreach, and more. Thanks, Qalbi!
Your 1-sentence thought on peace:
We are all one being. At some point, whether in this life or in the hereafter, we WILL realize it. So why not now while we are still alive? This is our one chance to be kind to one another.
๏ปฟHow has the Abrahamic Reunion changed you:
It was a bit difficult for me to understand that Peace is the only way. I was so surprised hearing the same thing over and over from each and every one of the peacemakers. They long for peace, their hearts are hungering for peace. Watching them, I have begun to transform. It is now becoming a possibility in my own heart, and I find myself thinking - Yes, maybe, Peace IS possible. Life isnโt easy, but it is very precious. Peace is not easy, but it is worth it.

The Abrahamic Reunion is organizing multiple Interfaith Iftar Dinner Programs in the Holy Land this year, both in response to the last year of upheaval, which began May 2021, and with the confluence of holidays. We will be inviting support and donations for these extraordinary events, which we have offered since 2006. More details to come soon. |
